I had COVID back in May 2021 and was in quarantine. Things were normal until late August when I started having a cold and got treated with antibiotics. After finishing the antibiotics, I noticed this slight pain on the left side of my chest while breathing deeply, as well as pain in my left hand. It's not sharp anymore, just a constant feeling. My chest X-ray came back normal, but the ECG showed Sinus Tachycardia, and sometimes my heart rate spikes. I'm 26, recently quit smoking, and I'm worried if this could be something like COPD or lung cancer. I can hold my breath for over a minute and can exhale in about 15 seconds, so I'm not breathless. But I'm really anxious, my hands and feet get sweaty, and there's this skin issue on my lower foot which makes me think about hyperthyroidism. Could you help me understand what's going on? I'm seriously worried.

I'm a bit confused about my recent 2D echo test results. My LVEF was 60 last year, but now it's dropped to 56. The cardiologist said that's normal, but I'm doing intense exercise like jogging, so I would've thought it might increase. Should I be worried, or do you think I need any additional tests? I'm 183 cm tall and weigh 83 kg.
In your case, the decrease in LVEF from 60% to 56% may not necessarily be a cause for concern, especially if your cardiologist has deemed it normal. It's important to consider that LVEF can vary slightly between tests due to factors like hydration status, timing of the test, and even the technician performing the test. However, since you are engaging in intense exercise like jogging, it's good to monitor any changes in your heart function. To support your heart health while engaging in intense exercise, you can consider taking Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplements. CoQ10 can help improve heart function and provide antioxidant support. You can take CoQ10 at a dosage of 100-200mg per day. Additionally, it may be beneficial to include Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet or as a supplement. Omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce inflammation and support overall heart health. Aim for a daily dosage of 1000-2000mg of Omega-3 fatty acids. Remember to stay hydrated during your exercise routine and listen to your body for any signs of overexertion. If you experience any concerning symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, consult with your cardiologist for further evaluation.

And how long do those symptoms usually last before it gets serious? Also, I've heard about angina and heart attacks, but I'm not quite sure how they're different. Could you explain that for me?
